I've always been kind of lukewarm on RZA so if he was involved it's not surprising the album wouldn't grab me. I do like Q-Tip though. Based on a quick look at Wikipedia it sounds like he was more involved in a critiquing process than directly working on the album though.

I like Kanye's cadence. I find it amusing when he says "tell peta my mink is draggin on the floor", others find it idiotic. His sound is always original and dramatically different with each release.
He is slightly overrated as a producer. All of his beats follow a similar pattern and usually dependent on a blatant vocal sample but still.
edit:me and slow groove just said the same thing pretty much

Thanks for taking the time to really articulate what you like about the album. I don't necessarily agree with your assessment (except the comment about his beats), but still it's interesting to hear.
